Over the last few months, I've been getting excessive growth of blue-green 
algae developing in my floaring plants (hornwort).  My tanks are 2.5 or 5.5 
gal tanks with sheets of plexiglass (with holes cut in them for 
ventilation/ir movement), and incandescent and some flourescent lights.

Are the plexiglass tops holding in more heat and/or "intensifying" the light 
source to promote the growth?

Any ideas on a way to control this growth, or am I better of to ditch the 
plants and start with fresh stuff after swutching to a different style 
cover?????

Any and all comments or thoughts are welcome and greatly appreciated!
